On Tuesday, April 7, Student Government Association (SGA) held their week 27 meeting remotely, discussing commencement and grades, among other topics.
President’s Award for Inclusive Excellence
The award recipients for the President’s Award for Inclusive Excellence (PAIE) have been notified.
Two awards were given out: one individual and one organization.
“The winners of the award, an individual and an organization, were constantly working to try and make our campus a better and inclusive place,” said B Lenz, who organized the committee. “There are a lot of ways that leaders at Wright State could easily ignore that need and continue to do things the same way that they have always done them. But the winners of the PAIE award were constantly changing to fit the needs of the students and communities they served even though they could have gotten by without doing so.”
The recipients will be announced to the public at a later date.
Academic Affairs planning group
The Academic Affairs planning group is currently working on a plan for how online classes will be held. The planning group is working on updating the way remote classes look for students planning on taking summer classes.
The Academic Affairs planning group also worked on the Pass/Unsatisfactory grading system for graduate students that was announced this week.
Election regulations
Director of Internal Affairs Eli Smith and President Ivan Mallett are currently working on updating the election regulations for the 2020 SGA elections to clarify any confusion due to the election being held remotely. Mallett predicts that the drafted regulations will be submitted by next week.
Commencement committee
The commencement committee is working on a questionnaire for graduating students to determine when they would like their graduation ceremony to take place.
Information on Pass/Unsatisfactory
The College of Science and Math Senator Sean Mcgraw recommends that College of Science and Math students avoid using the Pass/Unsatisfactory system on major-related courses, especially if they are looking to attend graduate school and/or programs.
